Lamaze Healthy Birth Pratices - #3: Have Continuous Support

In this installment of our series on the Lamaze Healthy Birth Practices, we explore the need for continuous labour support.  Women who receive such support during labour are less likely to: 

• have regional analgesia
• have any analgesia/anesthesia 
• give birth with vacuum extraction or forceps 
• give birth by cesarean 
• report dissatisfaction or a negative rating of their experience.
